BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 785,012, dated March 14, 1905.

Application filed March 15, 1904. Serial No. 198,189.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABBor AUGUSTUS Low, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Horseshoe, in the county of St. Lawrence and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to bottles; and it consists in certain elements in combination fully specified and claimed hereinafter.

In order that those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may understand, construct, and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it, referring to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is an elevation of a bottle having a rectangular body in cross-section. Fig. 2 is a partial cross-section of Fig. 1 on line X X. Fig. 3 is an elevation of a bottle havinground body in cross-section, and Fig. 4' is a partial cross-section of Fig. 3 on lines Y Y.

A is the body of the bottle in each figure.

B is the neck.

O represents ribs raised upon the outer surface of the bodyAand running longitudinally of the body A substantially throughout the whole length thereof. Ihave shown the ribs O at convenient places in the several figures; but I do not confine myself to the exact location of these ribs. These ribs serve two purposes. They primarily serve to afford a gripping-surface by which to grasp the bottle in pouring out the contents thereof, especially in bottles of large size, which must lee-grasped by one hand in pouring. Secondarily they serve as guards to protect the body of the bottle from breaking in shipment. These ribs all stantially throughout the length of the body,

and raised from the surface of said body, whereby the hand may readily grasp the bottle firmly in pouring its contents, and to serve as a protection while in transportation, substantially as specified.

Signed at New York, in the county of N ew' York and State of New York, this 17th day of February, A. D. 1904.

ABBOT AUGUSTUS LOW. Witnesses:
